if you just so happen to be afraid of the dark, things that go bump in the night, monsters in the closet, or anything that you can't see, I suggest that you Turn Back now
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a town in the Deep South, surrounded by woods. Though most of the world denies that creatures of darkness exist, the town of Magnolia does.
Magnolia is the oldest city on the Big River. It is a quiet town filled with everything and anything you could imagine. During the day people go about thier business. During the night everything else goes about its business.
The entire town of Magnolia used to know about the town's secrets. Used to know. The information has been lost, save for a few lucky ones. These lucky people have formed a group they call Kudzu, named after the plant that is almost immortal. It represents the knowledge they hold; it will never die.
Kudzu simply knows about Magnolia's secrets. Its the Reapers that you want to watch out for if you're not exactly human.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Reapers are a cult of humans who believe in 'destroying the darkness'. So, if you're not human, don't get caught by these guys. They will kill you if they can get thier hands on you. Even a foolish human helping a non-human will be killed.
Kudzu doesn't get along with the Reapers. If you're a non-human and need a place to stay, check an antebellum home. Members of Kudzu live in various homes, including Dunlieth and The Elms. If you ask around, then I'm sure that you can find out where one is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you walk towards the small town of Magnolia, you hear a raven's call. You approach the town through the Black Woods. The Black Woods will open up on Dead-End Road. From there it is an easy jog to Magnolia. Maybe a shot of A+ at The King's Tavern, or, if you prefer alcohol, and a lot of it, you could try Blues. But before you even reach Dead-End Road, the smell of carrion reaches your nose. You frown and peer around the bend in the path. At the beginning of Dead-End Road there is a large stake, the body of a witch impaled upon it. A sign in many languages reads one message:
IF YE BE OF ANY CREATURE THAT BE NOT HUMAN, THOU SHALL BE ADVISED TO TURN BACK NOW. ONCE THOU CROSS THIS CARCASS, YE SHALL BE KILLED, BEAST.
Do not let this message faze you. Continue, friend. Welcome to Magnolia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're a non-human, then you're basically anything. Because everything lives in Magnolia. Even water-creatures can live in the Big River and the bayous filled with water.

You frown as you walk into the King's Tavern. You know that the bartender, Micky, serves vamps. You sit down, waiting for him to serve some traveler 'red wine'. A man comes in and asks for a glass of wine. Micky gives him a crystal cup filled with a red liquid. The man smiles and downs it. He pays and leaves. You follow him. As he walks down an alley, you pull a gun from your coat. You fire one shot; it hits him in the back of the head, killing him instantly. You don't even care to check if he's human or not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being a Reaper is tough. You've gotta try and kill everyone that isn't a Reaper. But we do need Reapers...

You are hiding in a kudzu pit, waiting for a man to meet you. He is a vampire and, for the past four months, the Reapers have been chasing him. You just want to help him. You're a member of Kudzu; its what you do. As you hear the faint gunshot, you bow your head and say a word for the man. A Reaper must have caught him; he probably went to the King's Tavern for a quick glass. You climb out of the hole and hurry home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being a member of Kudzu means you help people. You're a nice person. But you hinder the Reapers as much as you can. Because they're all crazy.

RULES:
1. Stick to your character! I don't want members of Kudzu turning on non-humans unless you've made it kind of obvious that you're actually working for the Reapers.
2. NO GOD-MODDING!!! Reapers can die too. Humans die really easily, so if a member of Kudzu gets shot in a vital area, you die. As for non-humans, you could be a nice person and please choose one defense you have. For example: you're part lizard and unless you get shot in the face then you can survive a bullet. NOT A TURRET. ((but we're not bringing turrets here, right?)) God-modding is annoying and wrong and boring.
3. Only kill people with their permission OR if you're in a Reaper VS Non-Human thing, you could ask someone trustworthy ((me)) to pick a random number and yall could get and something like that ((flip a coin)) to see who dies. Because someones gotta die.
4. Have good, well-rounded characters. No boring ones. Boring = yuck
5. Please use okayish-good grammar.
6. If you're going to partake in this RP, post often and no one line posts please.
I think thats about it. I'll add more rules later if any are needed.

If you're a non-human, then you're basically anything. Because everything lives in Magnolia. Even water-creatures can live in the Big River and the bayous filled with water. CHARACTER FORM: Name: Shadow Age: looks 17-18 but even she doesnt really know how old she is; she's been around for about forever Gender: Female Species: shadow Where do you hail from?: I hide in the shadows where you think you saw something but then you dismiss it as a shadow...just because its a shadow doesnt mean you shouldnt be scared of it What brings you to Magnolia?: this is a nice place, full of magic. I especially love the old cemetary. thats where I usually stay Powers: Shadow doesnt really have any powers; to become 'whole' or solid ((to actually be there)) she has to take a special pill that she makes herself then down a bottle of a mix of blood, whose specific contents are known only to Shadow. when not solid, she floats around and cannot be seen or heard by anyone. this could be used for spying... Background/History: Shadow has been around for a long time and seen a lot of things. She prefers not to dwell on sad memories. Besides that, she's lived in Magnolia for the past couple hundred years, enjoying herself. when Kudzu was created, she decided to start making appearances again. since then, Shadow likes to hang out at the cemetary and various bars and nightclubs.

Name: Attimasc
Age: 367
Gender: Male
Species: Water Spirit
Where do you hail from?: Originally from a lake in north Germany
What brings you to Magnolia?: Pollution destroyed the habitat in Attimasc's lake, forcing him to move
Powers: can manipulate the water of his body, and any body of water he is in, turning to ice, manipulating shape, turning to steam, etc.
Background/History: Attimasc was created by an irrisponsible apprentice wizard, who was really trying to create a water nymph, but messed up the spell a bit. They got along well anyway, the young wizard teaching Attimasc about his powers and abilities. Eventually the wizard grew up and moved away, and Attimasc was left alone, during this time he lured in other people and played games with them, usually for something of sentimental value to the human. If they won, which the never did, then they would get an amount of gold, which was fairly abundant in the lake. Around the year of 1892, the industrial revolution was in full swing in Germany, and the gold he had hidden in his lake was discovered by prospectors. They started a town nearby, and used the gold to build a factory, which dumped pollutants to the lake. Unable to survive in the polluted water, he fled to Magnolia, which he had heard about through the aquatic grapevine. He hid nearby, afraid to enter the town, and went dormant for a while. He wakes up shortly before this RP begins.
:EDIT: all better

'It sure is nice out here,' thought Shadow. She drifted around aimlessly through the woods. She heard children speaking, so she floated closer. She spied a few humans, smoking foul smelling rolls of paper. Drifting away from them, she smelled something much more pleasing. Following her nose, Shadow came across a pool of crystal clear water.
"Well. Isn't this interesting," she said aloud. Drifting down to the pool, she stared into it for a moment, then jumped back in surprise. There was a boy in the water! Well, not a boy, but a boy-like creature.
'How wonderful!' she thought. Another non-human! Shadow will be lonely no more! Flitting behind a tree, Shadow drew a pill and a vial of blood from her pack and downed both. Now solid, she walked over to the pool and stuck her finger in the water, causing ripples to race across the pool's surface.
"Come out little boy...Shadow wants to meet you..."

Startled out of his slumber, Attimasc lashed out on instinct, trapping the intruder in a bubble of water and suspending her in mid-air, leaving a pocket of air for her to breathe. Waking up fully, he saw what he had caught, "You shouldn't sneak up on people like that," he said sleepily, "Who are you anyway, and why were you touching my pond?"

((sure you can join!))
"Just wanted to see if anyone was home," Shadow said, holding perfectly still. This water-boy seemed nice, but she didn't want to piss him off. It was obvious she woke him up. "Sorry for waking you up. But it might be best. You should stay aware and awake in this place. Especially during these times..." Smiling warmly, Shadow locked eyes with the boy. "My name is Shadow. What is yours?"

Kaminari watched silently from the corner of the tavern. She had spotted a few cloaked figures, but they never looked at her. Maybe it was because she looked normal? Her wings were put in her old backpack. In her hand was a watch. Tick....Tock....Tick....Tock She tapped her fingers with the beat of the watch. She picked up her drink, Red Sky, and drank down the soda. As she was drinking she spotted a figure staring at her.
